The Food Allergy Support Group of Tidewater (FASGOT)
offers support, friendship and resources to families
managing food allergies in the Hampton Roads area of
Virginia. We host support meetings, play groups and
other social events designed to offer local families
the opportunity to connect with one another. Through
these events we also hope to increase education and
awareness of food allergy in our community.
Our group is continually growing and we invite you
to take part in all of our meetings and events. We meet
at CHKD (Norfolk) in September, November, January, March
and May.
Our members include families with food allergic children
of all ages, medical providers and educational staff.
We invite anyone interested in receiving or sharing
information on managing food allergies. FASGOT strives
to advocate for our children. Our goal is to provide
a place that information can be exchanged to keep our
children safe. This organization recognizes that with
the right plan, children with food allergies can do
anything!
We offer 5 meetings a year with expert speakers. Parent
(Meet and Cheat) dinners, a playgroup, Teen meetings and
many other events.
